If we search in the web and on YouTube we found hunderts of discourses about these topics. We personally did not find any final answer to those questions. What was helpful for us personally was what great philosophers answered to these or similar questions, as for instance::
Jean-François Revel. Revel was a French philosopher, journalist, and author and father of Mathieu Ricard. In a discussion with his son Mathieu Ricard about religious topics he once said:
Jean-François Revel: «this has not been proofen or disproofen,
it is difficult to proof or disproof.
We don’t know.
Also Socrates was helpful to us personally:
Socrates:“The more I know, the more I realize I know nothing” (or only little).

and finally Wittgenstein. Wittgenstein was an Austrian philosopher who worked primarily in logic, the philosophy of mathematics, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of language. Wittgenstein once said:
Wittgenstein: “Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.”
